The company needs a database to run the company.
For each aspect of the business you must identify and capture the relevant data � such as
speaker details, customer details, lecture/visit dates and locations, book details, workshop
details etc. etc.
The above is simply an outline of the company and you will need to make your own
assumptions and interpret or even extend the scenario as you go. Use your imagination as
you see fit but you must clearly document all assumptions and extensions.
I�ve made a start.
The first attachment is the ERD 0, I was asked to add sub-typing and relationship names,
which I did in task 1.
A suggestion to sub-type location, but I�m not sure what to do with that.
task 2 is the more detailed version to build the final database from.
